Suffer, Little Children

This is not a joke, for all that it sounds like one: Former priest Thomas Harkins allegedly molested so many children, even the Catholic Church was no longer willing to tolerate it. So he was defrocked, and is now happily employed as a TSA supervisor in Philadelphia. (Not even a run-of-the-mill agent, mind you, but a supervisor.)

Tomorrow is Memorial Day, so don't forget to eat barbecue and drink booze in honor of all the men and women who died so that sociopaths with no marketable job skills would have the freedom to molest air travelers and draw a paycheck for doing so.

Why in hell isn't the sonofabitch in a prison cell instead of drawing a government paycheck? Oh wait, I know - there isn't any room left in the prisons after locking up all those terribly dangerous and evil drug offenders. Heaven forbid we should end the war on drugs - wouldn't want to break government's rice bowl, would we?

About Me

Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.
